A little Huben pic

[randy_68]

Just got a couple of our Hubens back from the dipper tonight. I think they turned out awesome.

We have had five of them dipped in five different patterns so far and we are planning on a group photo sometime. These also have a soft touch coating applied and makes them very grippy.

Mine is the brown one, done up in Moonshine Outshine camo.

There are seven of us in southwest Indiana that have .22 Hubens and we are loving them. They are perfect for our needs.

I think you are right. They do look awesome. And I like yours best.

The hubens look good, I’ve been pretty curious about them. I’m located in southern Illinois near Carbondale.

I'm located just off interstate 64 north of Dale about 60 miles from Illinois border. If you get over this way and want to check one out just send me a pm.

randy_68,

love those camo on K1. I have been shooting K1, since 2016. I like the simi auto and the power and recently pickup the latest version of 2020-K1 from Kelly. This latest version shoots very good both slugs and pellets. Keep posting those K1. Happy shooting!!!

I might have to take you up on that, have you tried any of the 25cal? Have you tried slugs in either cal?

Looking good Randy!

Have you, or anybody else for that matter, ever dialed down the power of a Huben to see at what point they stop functioning?

Hi Steve

I know if the reg is set under 100 bar it will malfunction sometimes. Also when you shoot it down to that level it will malfunction. When you air it up and dial in the reg you can hear the magazine piston engage at about 90 bar or so.. I was told to keep them running at 150 to be safe but we are having excellent luck running them at 110 to 130 bar and shooting down to that setting but no less. All 7 of our guns are set up to shoot the JSB 25 gr at anywhere from 885 to 920 or so. We also found that turning the power wheel in 4 clicks will drop the speed to around 800 fps and it's still pretty accurate. So far we haven't been interested in shooting slugs out of them as the 25 gr pellet does what we want it to and we are having excellent luck with them.

HTH

Thanks for for letting me know Randy!

One of these days I hope to get a Huben or some other decent semiauto.

Cranky1, I grew up on Chicago's south side but spent MUCH time partying @ SIU in my youth. Is "Ma Hales" or the "Iron Kettle" still in existence? Incredible chicken & cobblers cooked on wood burning stoves/ovens. Yummmmm! Great places to satisfy the "blind munchies" as we called it. Just curious.
